Cool GReddy strut bar installed--Thanks Fluid Motorsports!

My engine bay now looks complete, thanks to fluid motorsports. Pics suck, but you get the point.

Looks good. I would have gone with a Carbon fiber strut bar. Nonetheless, good stuff.

I was originally, but it would've looked out of place imo. I wanted to stick with the blue/polished metal under the hood

Indeed it does look great and keeping with the blue/polished metal was perfect. It adds a sense of style with simplicity. I did the same with front and rear Beatrush strut bars. The mounts are bronze/gold so I kept with that theme.

Man, that looks great. I've sort of started to go with blue accents too, I may get the same strut bar someday. I really need to see your car again, especially now that you've gone turbo! By the way, Carlos now has the Esmeril kit...... crazy!

Did you notice a difference in the stiffness of the chassie?

No way! Did he sell his greddy kit? What made him do that?

I have not been able to test it yet....I am still waiting on a map from MM...
I can drive it, but I don't go into boost......good thing this car is not my daily driver anymore.

Yeah, I think he just wanted more power or something. He barely had the Greddy kit on there for long. I think he said when he gets done he should have 360-370 at the wheels.... that's just crazy, but I want it
I wish I had your midpipe, I put my RB pipe on last night, it's not super loud, but it's almost a little too ricey sounding. Maybe I just need to get used to it. Now I need the Cobb AP to help with the air-to-fuel... it smells a little

it can't be as ricey as my agency power exhaust with their midpipe, that was screaming civic with huge fart can plus a side of bumble bees.

is yours raspy at certain rpms?

the mazsport midpipe sounds fantastic, very deep no rasp. if you go for that option it is expensive and building/shipping takes around 3 months, as I'm sure you've heard.

Yeah, I like the Mazsport pipe a lot, just not sure about the price and the wait. I've been hearing from more than one person that they take forever to ship stuff. I have a solution! You could just give me yours!
